"Dr. Treacy is literally a gift. She sprinkles magic and helps you learn to be human and humane to yourself. Her own struggles and the obstacles she has overcome, they continue to grow even with all the pain of life, watching her helped me to see that I could try to believe in my dreams, then I actually started living my dreams. While working with my therapist is exactly needed, Anna bridges what you are learning, healing, and working through into actions and routines that are holistic and incorporate compassion, kindness, and love. She brings the tools into your life and helps you adapt them to your needs. I didn't even consider I could be capable of doing that or that I could adapt someone else's tools. I am also a health professional and use to be a pastor. Dr. Treacy helped me integrate to my core while working within the chaos of my life. Literally, helping me connect the science of eating, cognition, lowering stress hormones with my spirituality, helping me to fully buy into my therapy, face my fear of doctors (very ironic!) and begin to truly create systems in my life that are built on the foundation of self-care. I cannot tell you how many times I rolled my eyes during our meetings and how many times her constant reminders of my amazingness really ticked me off. But they do something in meeting you in your deep dark shame and letting you know, really know that you are still human. Anna once told me, "Hey, so, I see you, you are sharing your darkness, these shadows, the deep corners of the closets you have been afraid to open, and I am here, but more importantly, you are here, you are still here, your are not running, not engaging in self-destruction, you are being vulnerable, and courageous. Now, you ready to reframe some of this shite?" This was and is my empowerment journey. Doc invited me to learn about me, helped me to know I can handle pain and stay in my window of tolerance using the tools my therapist, treatment team, nutrionist, and her have taught me, and the tools I have been teaching others for years. I am accepting me, protecting me, with boundaries I create, while not trying to change myself in very deadly ways. Because, she learns about me, she teaches me the tools that fit my life, or reminds me of options that I really do know, helping me to remember to use the tools. Like breathing. Seriously, who knew? Doc knows so so much about each realm of healing and what she doesn't know she will go and find and learn and bring those tools into your world. If they don't work, well apparently you have to keep trying to use them, AND, actually pracising using the tools literally ensures that they work because you learn to adapt them to your life. Anna helps with that space. Also, she annoyingly reminds me that there are apparently endless options. And, she is human, that is the best part, she is raw in her acknowledgement of life being hard, cruel, and unfair, that she struggles and fails on repeat, until she doesn't. Yet, what really hits me working with her and learning from her is that she is the walking proof that we do not have to become the horror we go through, I do not have to be cruel, unfair, mean, or hurtful. I can be kind, vulnerable, cry, risk, forgive, and stay in therapy. Through stories, alternative health options, real science and leaps of faith, risk she reminds you, she reminds me, that I am sacred, powerful, one of a kind, and bizaree, I believe her. I can now actually and literally live on this planet while feeling good, being content with myself most of the time. And, she kindly calls out b.s., sometimes, she is rather direct, but after I trusted her. She is the only reason I stayed in therapy. Period. And, that, alone, is a miracle. Also, I am VERY excited for her vision and to be able to take the courses they are creating. To get my continuing education through her website. Watching her walk her talk, being 50 and risking, learning and growing, starting her own company when most of us are looking to retire. Well, she is impossible. So am I. Her stories inspire and often make me laugh but more importantly it is the way she weaves her stories and those of others into spaces unique to helping you to create new ways of talking to and treating yourself. It may pain me to get corny, but, yeah, Anna is helping me create my impossible and not letting me forget my values or my own accomplishments. There is also the platypus. I keep telling her to get moving with creating a store where I can get all the impossible platypus merch for her Health Education Initiative. (I don't believe you will actually include this entire thing on your website, but if you do, seriously with the getting your content and store set up already!) My community is excited to see this grow and it has been really awesome seeing Doc grow and learn as I am too. P.S. Stay in Therapy, Find Your Therapist and Stay in Therapy. Dr. Treacy can help you bring your therapy to life, but as she states, "That can only happen if you are actually doing the work. So, if you are not. How about taking a compassionate look at what is happening. Maybe write out your fears and maybe write to your therapist. Maybe practice some of the communication skills." This is just the tip of the ice berg. Though she has had her own impossibly countless obstacles her practice of self-patience and forgiveness and reframing and relentlessness in modeling rest, healing, and action is exactly what I needed and still need in order to see, own, know that I am also impossible and that is pretty awesome. Create your Impossible. Plus, for the first time in my life I have met someone who can own their struggles, mistakes, foibles, quickly and authentically apologize for any mistakes and work to repair the mistakes. I never received an apology that has been authentic until I met Anna and saw her make mistakes in her calendar, communication, and setting up her business. Then, actually receiving an apology as she is learning, well she taught me how to apologize too. And, how to forgive my own mistakes. And, keeps me going to my therapist!
